The USB keyboard you really want is a ZX Spectrum one

Turns out Etsy is selling retro computers rejigged to work as USB keyboards. This means you can play emulated games whilst using an appropriate keyboard. All our dreams come true.

Spectrum plus style

Spectrum 48k style

Or perhaps sir prefers a Commodore 64 USB keyboard?

Or even a ZX81 USB keyboard?

If we’re honest, we’ve often ignored Etsy as being full of twee rubbish and irrelevant to our interests. Now we know there’s offbeat tech projects on there, it’s sort of opened a door that we might never be able to close.
